It seems incredible that we are already well into the first week of 2023. I hope that you had time to relax and enjoy the holiday season in whichever way you celebrate. I also realized that with the summer solstice that has come and gone, our days will start getting shorter and heading to winter which is a scary thought as we have not yet had much summer...we have had plenty of rain and as we are in a summer rainfall area that has been good for the dams. I hope you all have a creative, enjoyable year.</p><p>OK now onto the new challenge for January over at <a href="https://letscreatechallenges.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">Let's Craft and Create</span></a><span style="color: red;"> </span>which is always Anything goes, but with an optional twist.. <b>Black and White. </b>The DT have some fabulous cards for inspiration, so do hop on over and see what they have to show.

If you are in the Southern part of the world like me, I think you are feeling the winter chills and hope you are keeping warm. In the North, it seems that summer has been a little slow in coming to some parts but hope you are all making the best of whatever weather mother nature is handing out right now. As for Covid, if you are in some form of lockdown, I trust that you are able to find someway of keeping busy, and if the restrictions are lifted where you are, please take care and be safe.</p><p>It's time for another challenge at <a href="https://letscreatechallenges.blogspot.com/">Let's Craft and Create</a> and this month we are inviting you to add buttons to your project as an option....of course our challenges are always "anything goes" but it is great to add a little something else to the challenge. The design team have some super inspirational cards for you, so I do hope you will pop in. You have a whole month to join and a lovely gift certificate is up for grabs.</p><p>My card is again a fairly simple and CAS one....no colouring of images for me at the moment and as I am still on a mission to use up my stash of papers I pulled out an old KaiserCraft range of papers for this card.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaxrTFG0t_5UgGhB8hmThXBzlSlh1LPERuS4bIafl9U5Ls_ogr-WQDQkIAekOs1J4w4VSxAPFI-pDt83gBou8Umw-l1bXkVzoNqfYsFP_Cc7ChWaJVdvJ_Exdv5Dt2FjkNH3sHOHRPnp0/s779/Let%2527s+Craft+and+Create+%2523172.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="779" data-original-width="575" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaxrTFG0t_5UgGhB8hmThXBzlSlh1LPERuS4bIafl9U5Ls_ogr-WQDQkIAekOs1J4w4VSxAPFI-pDt83gBou8Umw-l1bXkVzoNqfYsFP_Cc7ChWaJVdvJ_Exdv5Dt2FjkNH3sHOHRPnp0/w295-h400/Let%2527s+Craft+and+Create+%2523172.jpg" width="295" /></a></div><p><br /></p>All the paper is from that range and even the border is a strip that is just pull off and stick down.<p></p><p><br /></p><p>The sentiment is from a page of words and I just cut out the letters of each word.

Crips mornings and evenings and usually lovely sunshiny warm days, but we have had some rather chilly and rainy days. Rain is very unusual for us as we are a summer rainfall area, but any winter rain is most welcome for our gardens as we only get our rains again in October.</p><p>I do hope you are all coping with whatever this Covid 19 epidemic is throwing at you... We do have restrictions but are coping and still staying at home as much as possible. Waiting for our vaccine rollout which should start in a week or two and as we are over sixties and hubby over 80 he will among the first recipients....I pray that this year will see us return to some form of normality, but I think for us air travel to visit our families will still be a long way off. </p><p>Back to the challenge. The theme for this is as always ...Anything goes with the option ... no patterned paper. </p><p> The DT have some lovely projects for inspiration and please pop over and see what all they have to show. I hope you will join in this challenge and there is even a small prize up for grabs.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG0K8R-MURdrl8rtASJSbW2fC-jKrZfiwidWY00nFkpFHWa6ijryNq2zwWhjzx-06IjnxJKi2J_RtPt8I4WNtzkFx3WiN30aS0bJNMn5-ixZUQT2rDYhvCccxDyup_FBHxO88Cbb-cKYE/s800/Let%2527s+Craft+and+Create+%2523171.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="608" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG0K8R-MURdrl8rtASJSbW2fC-jKrZfiwidWY00nFkpFHWa6ijryNq2zwWhjzx-06IjnxJKi2J_RtPt8I4WNtzkFx3WiN30aS0bJNMn5-ixZUQT2rDYhvCccxDyup_FBHxO88Cbb-cKYE/w304-h400/Let%2527s+Craft+and+Create+%2523171.jpg" width="304" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I went with a very CAS card,</div><p></p><p>2 layers of card, embossing the top layer and giving it a light sanding to bring out the green.</p><p>The sentiment is diecut and I added gems for the dots on the i.
